The two log messages "foo" and "foo\n" currently show up as different
because they are different. Why is that bad? Why should Subversion
hide the difference? If hiding the difference really is the right
thing to do then what about: "foo\n\n", "\n\nfoo\n\n", "foo \n",
should they be made to look the same as well?
